The protein, carbohydrate, and fat ratios don’t really matter as much if your eating a deficit. And you Absolutely need all of those in your diet, best if consumed from minimally processed whole foods. The occasional treat isn’t bad for you, and you could eat junk food and lose weight if you keep the calorie deficit.  When they studied the Hadza tribe in Africa, they are the closest thing to a hunter gatherer today, they consume 65% of their calories from honey.  The rest of the diet is composed from game and tubers they dig out of the dirt.  They also walk around 10 miles per day looking for food.</blockquote>
